Jimmy Carr debuts new hairdo on Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2021 and viewers have mixed views

Jimmy Carr has debuted a brand new hair style on Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz of the Year this evening (December 26).

But fans aren't quite sure what to make of his brave new locks.

The 8 Out of 10 Cats presenter is renowned for his black mane and big quiff - but he has unveiled a totally different mop for his Boxing Day quiz show appearance.

Jimmy is seemingly sporting a tidier hair cut - and more notably has dyed it a deep red colour.

It wasn't immediately clear that this was the case as the colour could have been a case of lighting in the studio, but Twitter has all agreed that the change is real, and viewers are really not sure what to make of it.

@UTD_Hayley said: "Why has Jimmy Carr got red hair? #bigfatquizoftheyear"

@CraigWrites70 tweeted: "I see @jimmycarr is doing his bit for minority groups on #BigFatQuiz by going full #ginger with the Just For Men hair dye."

@Markus_Astbury added: "@jimmycarr mate I’m watching Big fat quiz, WHAT THE HELL is going on with your hair? It’s usually black as my soul but this looks so auburn."

Unclear on what the colour actually was, @kisstoviolins wrote: "Short brown hair tanned Jimmy Carr is so off-putting."

But some people are clearly more impressed with the new look than others.

@Sturgeworld said: "Why does Jimmy Carr suddenly look more attractive? Am I drunk?"

On the show, Jimmy quizzes stars including Sarah Millican, James Acaster and Judi Love on the hot topics of 2021, from space travel and sea shanties to shower-averse celebs.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year began on Channel 4 at 9pm, but you'll be able to catch up on All 4 shortly after broadcast.
